With Winter season gearing up AND a farm breeding(!) allowed, I'm going to take this opportunity to try and breed one of my desired secondary traits, Crystal, into the project.
Therefore, I'm looking at breeding Tuxedo x Cloudburst and traiting for Crystal and Feline. The other traits should breed in okay, since plating is acceptable, and horns should hopefully not breed through.
Next season, I hope to be able to breed my first gens of Cat-bird hybrids to secure the Gryphon line a little better.
